To solve the problem, we need to determine the relationship between the points A, B, and C from which tangents are drawn to the circle defined by the equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\). The chord of contact of these tangents is said to be concurrent, which gives us a specific condition to analyze. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Circle and Its Properties**: The equation of the circle is given as \(x^2 + y^2 = 4\). This represents a circle centered at the origin (0, 0) with a radius of 2. 2. **Chord of Contact Equation**: ...
